James Kaiser
Destination Press, 2005
A must have for the first time visitor
Terrific book! We visited Acadia for the first time this year. The author's descriptions are excellent, but most important his recommendations (on restaurants, things to do, which hikes to make, etc) are excellent. He gives clues on where to go for those seeking to ...

Novel Destinations: Literary Landmarks From Jane Austen's Bath to Ernest Hemingway's Key West
Shannon Mckenna Schmidt, Joni Rendon
National Geographic, 2008
As much for the armchair traveler as the author-obsessed
For real book fanatics, great novels are only the beginning. Closing the pages of a beloved Jane Austen or Charles Dickens or James Patterson for the umpteenth time is a cue to pack suitcases and head out to visit the sacred places where Austen, Dickens or Patterson ...

The Stars My Destination
Alfred Bester
Vintage, 1996
firey vengence sparks adventure and self-improvement
Considering its 50+ age, it's a solid piece of SF.
Sometimes heralded as the grandfather of cyberpunk (as many books tend to be labled), it's a interestingly techy novel. Lots of ideas thrown into a tub full of characters on a one-way plot to a fine blend.
What ...

Destination Weddings For Dummies (For Dummies (Travel))
Susan Breslow Sardone
For Dummies, 2007
The only book on the subject you really need
I'm kind of obsessive, so I bought The Knot destination wedding book and the Destination Bride book too. They're both good, but this is probably the only one you need if you're just buying one. The Knot book has lots of nice pictures of other people's weddings which ...

Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die: Birding Experts Share The World's Greatest Destinations
Chris Santella
Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 2007
Surprisingly worthwhile (with some caveats)
I must admit that I was initially skeptical of this book. The author admits that he is not a birder, and there are inherent issues with these sort of lists.
Even though the author is not an avid birder himself, he is not a complete stranger to the hobby. He was aware ...

Truly Profound
I bought this book upon it's release in 1997. I can remember allowing the contents of this memoir to captivate me for hours on end. I lent my copy to a friend shortly thereafter and subsequently forgot about it. I recently ordered a replacement and I must say, this ...
